Few if any clinicians follow this thinking. Indeed, it appears impossible to predict the incidence of (no-reflow/MVO) from the presenting angiogram (pre- or post- wire or balloon) and it can be argued that irrespective of thrombus burden it would be better to undertake prophylactic treatment in all patients, following the use of aspiration catheter, with delivery of agents able, in theory at least, to reduce (angiographically undetectable) MVO. Several studies of IC adenosine or SNP have shown favourable effects in attenuating MVO. However, the size of effect with either drug and whether indeed there is a difference between them in reducing MVO and infarct size is undetermined.
